Silkworm Poster

Thank you for ordering this wonderful poster! We'll be in touch soon with more details.

Silken Secrets - silkworm metamorphosis

Beautiful drawings and text describe the life cycle of the silkworm - egg to cocoon - moth to silkworm again, within a circle. Text outside the circle explains and depicts how this extraordinary silken strand is released from the cocoon and made into yarn and fabric with the aid of humans. On the back of the poster you will find a lot more information about the fascination silk has held for centuries. For the silk/textile artist, a beautiful addition for a studio wall; for teachers, a great teaching tool spanning history, culture and science
